Truss out or Cantilever

[Tufty]

What's the difference between a truss out and a cantilever? I have looked it up and according to my info a truss out uses tube and a cantilever uses a beam!!!!!!!

 

[Rigger]

I always refer to both of them as cantilevers,for many years the needles were always tube except on heavy duty work
they both use the cantilever principle for support

In architecture and structural engineering, a truss is a structure comprising one or more triangular units constructed with straight members whose ends are connected at joints referred to as nodes. External forces and reactions to those forces are considered to act only at the nodes and result in forces in the members which are either tensile or compressive forces. Moments (torques) are explicitly excluded because, and only because, all the joints in a truss are treated as revolutes.

A planar truss is one where all the members and nodes lie within a two dimensional plane, while a space truss has members and nodes extending into three dimensions.
A cantilever is a beam supported on only one end. The beam carries the load to the support where it is resisted by moment and shear stress.[1] Cantilever construction allows for overhanging structures without external bracing. Cantilevers can also be constructed with trusses or slabs.

This is in contrast to a simply supported beam such as those found in a post and lintel system. A simply supported beam is supported at both ends with loads applied between the supports.

Truss Out/ Cantilever

Just to make an abbreviated version of Paddy.

Truss out has a spur tube.

Cantilevers dont have a spur tube.

Simps ehhh ?? LOL

All the best for the week ahead.

Take care and come home with another pay cheque for the wife and kids
